have 3 inch black stubby antenna. works fine...Range is less than big stock monster, but I listen to Ipod and Satellite most of the time. 3 inch stays out of the way of stuff..

Hmm I am thinking about doing this as well. I got a cheap shorty antenna on eBay for my Mustang and it worked really good and looked way better than the fishing pole that comes stock. I pretty much only listen to satellite radio or my iPod anymore so reception isn't really a deal breaker for me...

Default 6" stubby

i just put my 6" stubby on a few days ago. you have to look twice to see it. it blends right in. and i still get all the radio did before. there is only one channel that comes in a little week. but it did even before the stubby.

here's what I've got. I got the 8 inch one.

Reception is a little worse, but I live in a bigger city not far from the stations I listen to so it's not bad at all.
I also have one of these, I live out in the country and the radio stations anntenna is close to 80 miles away and have no problem picking it up. I noticed no change what so ever.
